Tricks & Strategies

1. Gather resources (or not)

Pocket Build gives you the option to play the game as Ultimate Sandbox (unlimited resources) or Survival Sandbox (collect your resources). You can change this mode at any time through settings that you can access through the Person Icon in the upper left corner or through the Joystick Icon at the upper right corner of the screen. If you are playing this game in Ultimate Sandbox mode, feel free to skip to the next section of this guide.

Ultimate Sandbox for a chill time. Survival Sandbox for a chill, but more challenging time.

There are three resources you need to collect in order to buy units and building materials in the game: Wood, Food and Gold. The Beaver Icon at the upper left side of the screen represents the number of units currently in your world.

We need more supplies!

Know your units

There are several types of units in the game but the only ones you need for gathering resources are People and Goblins.

People

People are in charge of harvesting Wood and Food but cannot harvest Gold. You can command them to find Wood or Food, explore (without harvesting), stand still, self-destruct (deletes the unit), mount dragons or horses, ride boats or go on Auto Mode. Auto Mode will command the unit to harvest any Food or Wood close to them. Everything they harvest adds 1 to Food or Wood no matter what unit.

All in the day’s work!

You can also control these units and play the game in first person mode in their perspective. While in first person, you can jump, ride horses, use tools to harvest resources and build. It also takes you just 8 seconds to harvest anything yourself so if you want to get something quickly, first person is the way to go. If you are harvesting crops, be sure to aim below the item for it to take effect.

Even though People only harvest Wood and Food, when you’re in control of the unit, you can also harvest Gold through them. Just be sure to put them back into Auto Mode if you want them to keep farming by themselves because this automatically turns off once you control them in first person. If you just instruct them to find Food or Wood, they will do one task and start loitering after.

Strategize your Farm Placements

Once a unit stops harvesting something, they will automatically try to look for another item to harvest. However, there will be times that they may not notice the item because it is too small (less than 0 size) or too far away.

In order to prevent them from loitering around without working, place many items to harvest around their area and surround them with a fence or any item that will keep them from leaving the area. It is ideal to place the Trees or Crops closer to each other, so that your farmers won’t need to walk too far in between harvests. You can shorten the gaps by decreasing the Snap Size in the Building Menu.

Small, humble farms for each resource!

You should also keep your Tree and Crop farms away from Gold farms since Goblins and People will always fight when they see each other. If a Person dies, you can revive them in 10 seconds.

However, while Goblins also have a button for reviving, it is currently unavailable and does not function. Even if you don’t revive them, their bodies will stay in the world unless you self-destruct them. But if you kill People or Goblins yourself in first person, they will automatically disappear. At the time of writing this, only Humans and Goblins can be killed.
